Reviews by readers

poetry and illusion!

I am captivated by Jennifer Huntley's talent for description; she totally mesmerized me with each flower and each feeling as she included me in her journey -- a journey far beyond Provence and romance. This is a journey of the spirit and the soul by an exquisite writer. I would travel with her anywhere.

Insprational Journey

I just finished reading Jennifer Huntley's "Eight Days in Provence", and I must admit, pacing myself was actually my biggest challenge, I just did not want to reach the end. The details were exquisite, like the breathtaking landscapes, "Red poppies, iridescent and translucent in morning sun, slashed across the fields every now and then." The delectable and not so delectable cuisine, "like black mud from the bottom of the salty sea." They were sprinkled throughout in all the right places. There were so many moments throughout the story when I felt as though I had been in those same situations, and I could really relate to the characters.

I loved the idea that although "Eight Days in Provence" was a true story, it had fairytale like, qualities that enabled me to be drawn into the experience. The point at which I truly appreciated Jennifer's writing was on the day that her travel group visited St.-Paul-de-Mausole, the asylum that Van Gogh had gone to recover; the place where he painted more than one hundred fifty paintings during that year. When "Jenny" stood at the window and "saw" what he saw, it was like reality seeing fantasy as reality. I fell in love with this book and wished for it to be "Years in Provence!"

I am an avid traveler and Jennifer brought to life again, the many James' I have encountered throughout my journeys. More importantly though, she helped me to see that they all have a place in my heart and will now, probably soon be characters in my books! Thank you for the inspiration and for sharing such an intimate encounter. It was delicious, as are most things French!

a little tour of Provence

I enjoyed the tour as I love Provence but I found alot of repetition like the picnic meals of tomatos with tapenade and the fact that she seemed oblivious that everyone knew what was going on. They're not to consort with the clients, hmm!
